The remaining big question, then, is whether you can truly subclass

Oh yes, I would certainly expect that this has to be possible.
OK, next question. Is _THIS_ possible?
class FileBasedHash is Hash { ...stuff... };
my %data is FileBasedHash('/tmp/foo.txt');
And if _that's_ possible, is _THIS_ possible?
my $path = '/tmp/foo.txt';
my %data is FileBasedHash($path);
Sorry, but I gotta ask. :-)
